  Come; you will find a friend all yours in the skin of



H。 de Marsay。





As Paul de Manerville ended the reading of this letter; which fell

like the blows of a pickaxe on the edifice of his hopes; his

illusions; and his love; the vessel which bore him from France was

beyond the Azores。 In the midst of this utter devastation a cold and

impotent anger laid hold of him。



〃What had I done to them?〃 he said to himself。



That is the question of fools; of feeble beings; who; seeing nothing;

can nothing foresee。 Then he cried aloud: 〃Henri! Henri!〃 to his loyal

friend。 Many a man would have gone mad; Paul went to bed and slept

that heavy sleep which follows immense disasters;the sleep that

seized Napoleon after Waterloo。
